The Lure (NYC Leather/Fetish Bar 1994-2004)
I was pretty much closeted and had never even kissed a guy, but I remember the exhilirating sense of freedom and liberation I know Addicted to that feeling, I probably went there more than I should have, but it was such an amazing experience. It's where I met the guy with whom I had bar first kiss, first date and first same sex encounter.
It seems so long ago, but the memories are still vivid. And it was a time before big muscles and shaving every inch of the body were in vogue. Yes, I sound old. Is Julius still there? That place skeeved me out just from the outside, and I never set foot in there.
I remember hearing they had great hamburgers there, but that wasn't enough motivation to get me in there. Club USA was so beautiful! I loved the mugler lure I think that's where the would play a lot Of classic disco. Also loved going up to the roof bar in the gay A great, great nyc so much fun. I got kicked out of the Mine Shaft once for having cologne on, but I met some hot guys there.
And I met the un-love of my life at the Ninth Circle. Harry's Back East up on Third and 88th Street? Sweaters worn over the shoulders and tied in a knot in the front, Gucci loafers and no socks and pleated khakis pants. Non-stop cruising. Hustlers at 52nd and 53rd Streets and married johns in cars in the 60s.
Julius is still open.
